Hydrant Party

Enjoy a splash of summer fun at our Hydrant Parties!

Each event features hydrant‑powered spray elements that create a refreshing, pop‑up water play experience perfect for all ages.

Guests can also enjoy games and activities supported by community partners including the City of Lincoln, Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Lincoln Police Department, Lincoln City Libraries, NeighborWorks, and local Neighborhood Associations.

The sprayground will take center stage—an energetic, high‑spirited water attraction designed to bring families together, spark joy, and keep everyone cool.
